In the US we make them serve their sentence before we deport them. Then again, I don't think the UK has turned prisons into money printing slave labor camps the way we have, so...

True. Morally speaking the Torries are just as bad as the Republicans, they simply haven't had as much success turning your country into a Neo-fuedal hell hole.

As an American the Tories seems like a absurd fraternity and being the PM is their way hazing members.

I think the UK did too, of the initial 2.5 years, he was only due to serve half of that in prison, probably got out early with good behaviour. 8 months of an expected 13 months in prison isn't that unreasonable.

As of 2018 8.41% of US prisoners held in private prisons. In the UK, 18.46% in England and Wales, 15.3% in Scotland

I mean, I wish the UK made some people serve their full sentences. I feel like you should seeve more than twelve years for brutal murder:

After this awesome human was released and deported back to New Zealand, there was no system in place for him to be monitored for parole violations there. He did a lot of damage to a lot of people in the two decades he was free.
